[Serena Miller]

After that initial adventure with Kotone, Serena knew that she had to come out here again for more fresh meat.  There really was nothing like it, as long as no one else was around to see what had to be done to make it presentable.  The hunt today was a successful one.  Not a very successful one, as she only hit one duck, but this was more than enough for just her and anyone else she wanted to invite, and in this city her ability to eat didn't depend on what she managed to catch herself.  A freshly roasted duck was just a treat instead of a complete necessity.  It was really nice.  Now, she was just heading back to her dorm to put her things away and get the proper tools to clean it up.  Her walk was casual, not worried in the slightest for once, and she was just carrying the duck by its feet.  Natalia walked by her side as always, looking satisfied at her own work, and perhaps a little happy since she knew she was going to get some duck tonight.

In the joy of the moment, Serena didn't even notice the phantom tree sneaking up behind them.  Even Natalia's senses were dulled, thinking that there couldn't possibly be anything dangerous in a place like this.  The tree was just staring at them, slowly lurking towards them not even making a sound.  Then suddenly it smacked Natalia with its head as hard as it could.  It was enough to daze Natalia for a moment, but not enough to seriously hurt her.  Before Serena even fully understood what was going on, Natalia turned towards the stump and breathed a huge column of fire right into its face.  The somewhat charred stump realized it made a horrible mistake, and started to turn around and run, but not before slamming its head into Natalia one more time.  Though, with as weak as it was, it wasn't exactly moving very fast.

"Natalia t--um, good job."

It was clear that there wasn't any reason to attack again.  Doing so would undoubtedly knock it out, and just overall cause more pain than necessary.  It was clearly too weak to fight anymore.  With a toss of a pokeball, she quickly caught the Phantump, still not quite sure what happened.

Well, she understood that now she had a duck and a new pokemon.  Life was good.
